• Assemble upholstered components to plastic, Starboard, wood, and other backing materials
• Use drills, impact drivers, rivet guns, staple guns, hand tools, and other assembly equipment
• Read and follow assembly drawings, work instructions, part numbers, and production schedules
• Verify the correct parts, hardware, and options are installed for each boat model
• Inspect completed assemblies for fit, alignment, appearance, loose hardware, damage, or other quality concerns
• Correct minor assembly issues and communicate larger quality concerns to the appropriate team members
• Help ensure complete boat sets are assembled correctly and ready for shipment on schedule
• Maintain a clean and organized work area and properly care for tools and equipment
• Work closely with Upholstery, CNC/Plastic, Quality Control, Shipping, and other production teams

• Ability to work efficiently while maintaining consistent workmanship
• Dependable attendance and ability to work well as part of a team
• Willingness to learn Blue Core's products, boat models, part numbers, and quality standards

Physical Requirements

• Ability to stand and work on your feet for the majority of the shift
• Ability to regularly lift and move marine seating and components
• Ability to bend, reach, kneel, and perform repetitive assembly tasks
• Ability to work safely in a manufacturing environment

• Opportunities for growth and advancement as Blue Core continues to expand

At Blue Core, quality matters at every step. As a Final Assembly Operator, you'll be one of the last people to work on our products before they leave our facility. The goal is simple: every part assembled correctly, every boat set complete, and every product ready to meet our customers' expectations.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check and drug screening.
